Paradox #1
Psalms 35:26 could be seen as exhibiting a contradiction because it calls for shame and disgrace upon those who wish harm upon the speaker. This seems inconsistent with other teachings in the Bible that emphasize forgiveness, love, and blessing one's enemies. Therefore, it may conflict with the broader message of loving and forgiving others.
